Default convert date format after mailmerge

Hello,

I have mail merged information from an Access query into a Word file to
create a billing system. All fields come access and match their respective
values. I hit trouble with the date format in the Word file. When imported
the format changes from dd/mm/yyyy to mm/dd/yyyy. How can I stop this or try
to change the format in the Word file?????


Thanking you,

David W.
